Admissions Dual Degree Program

If you are hoping to build on your academic interests and earn a marketable graduate degree, Marlboro College’s dual degree program is the best of both worlds. With the dual degree program you can continue your Marlboro studies on your terms and earn a master’s degree at Marlboro College Graduate School within a year or two of graduation. In most cases you will take graduate classes while you are still an undergraduate, starting your graduate program ahead of the game and with a significant savings in credit fees.

Marlboro College Graduate School offers the practical opportunity to apply your academic experience to a career in education, technology, business, nonprofit management, social justice or advocacy. Unlike other master’s degree programs, the graduate school provides professional skills for working adults while maintaining Marlboro’s high standards for profound intellectual growth. Most programs are based on monthly or bi-weekly intensives combined with online engagement and learning, so you can balance your course load with work or other responsibilities.

You will find many familiar features at the graduate school consistent with the undergraduate program, including:

small classes
self-directed learning
project-based work
real-world experience
focus on clear communication
community support

The dual degree program provides a fitting transition from Marlboro’s intense academic community to the professional world outside. Some programs at the graduate school accept up to nine credits for graduate and higher level courses taken as an undergraduate, bringing your master’s degree well within reach. No standardized tests are needed to enter the graduate school. Consult with the admissions office to learn how simple it is to make one of these graduate programs part of your college plans:
